This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Chapter 462 Why Beichuan Temple chose Kamiya Mirai (4000 words)

No matter what, the matter of the Box of Disaster must be resolved personally.

But in the end, if there really is some serial murderer behind the scenes... then Kitagawa Temple has no particularly good way to deal with it.

Because for Beichuan Temple, the murderous maniac is not as easy to solve as the evil spirit.

If that is the case, we can only hope that the local police station in Yamanashi Prefecture can come up with a response strategy as soon as possible and bring the murderer to justice sooner or later.

But before these...

"Love?! Did you call Brother Si over again today?"

Sakura Mio, who was scooping up a big scoop of ice cream with a silver spoon, was stunned.

She turned to look at her best friend with disbelief on her face.

Although she also has Kitagawaji's LINE account and mobile phone number, just logging into her LINE account and saying hello is her limit.

But Sakura Mio didn't expect that Otomo Ai would sneak up to this point.

Not only did he send greetings on LINE, he even started to contact the other party on the phone!

Not only Sakura Mio showed this expression, but Takihara Nanako and Sakurai Saki also looked at Otomo Ai in a daze.

Faced with their various expressions, Otomo Ai did not hesitate much. She smoothed the hair from her ears upwards, and then said:

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, I can be sure that the content of the chat between Brother Si and I is definitely not what you think."

"That's what I said..."

Sakura Mio and Sakurai Saki looked at each other.

"..." Great friendship.

She shook her head, not bothering to argue with the few people in front of her in such an energy-inefficient place.

She took out her phone from her bag, unlocked it with her fingerprint, opened the LINE chat history, and showed the content to the three people in front of her.

Above the simple LINE page is an extremely concise dialogue.

Otomo Ai: Brother Temple? are you free tomorrow? Regarding Sister Inuzuka, I want to meet with you in detail.

Temple: Yes.

Otomo Ai: Can I call Saki and the others then? I also want them to hear about this aspect, and I don’t want them to worry about me.

Temple: Yeah.

Otomo Ai: Thank you Brother Si! Then tomorrow’s location is set to be CURE Cafe, should it be okay?

Temple: Yeah.

Temple: I want to bring Mirai here.

Daiyouai: Okay. sorry to bother you!

Temple: Yeah.

The chat history ends here.

It only took everyone half a minute to read this concise and somewhat excessive chat record.

After reading the chat history, Takihara Nanako twitched the corners of her mouth and said in a difficult tone:

"Brother Temple...didn't you say nothing at all? It seems that he paused when mentioning Kamiya-senpai and said a few more words."

You know, even energy conservationists like Otomo Ai have typed so many words! But Beichuan Temple is actually more energy efficient than her.

Just when Sakurai Saki and Takihara Nanako were surprised by Otomo Ai's chat record, Sakura Mio on the other side also raised her hand in embarrassment:

"Actually...this is pretty good."

As she spoke, she showed her mobile phone screen to the three people present.

The slightly pink LINE chat history is between her and Kitagawaji.

Sakura Mio: Good morning! Temple brother!

Temple: Yeah.

Sakura Mio: I had a painting class today. Oh my, the paintings Eri drew are so beautiful!

Temple: Got it.

The chat history pauses and then jumps to the next day.

Sakura Mio: Good morning! Temple brother!

Temple: Yeah.

Sakura Mio: Listen to me, just now...

It's like being stuck in an infinite loop.

The dense chat records basically start with ‘Good morning, Brother Si! ’ started.

"But... but finally one day..." Sakura Mio expressed grief and anger, swiping her finger downwards, and then showed the chat record to Sakurai Saki and the others.

In the thick of ‘Good morning! Temple brother! 'At the bottom, there is a line of information from Beichuan Temple that is particularly conspicuous.

Tera: Sakura, let me tell you first, I already have a girlfriend.

Well...

The air was silent.

Everyone looked at Sakura Mio subconsciously.

I saw Sakura Mio turning her grief and anger into appetite, and while taking big mouthfuls of ice cream into Sakura's lips, she cried out in a particularly aggrieved voice: "I know it too! I also know this kind of thing! Brother Temple already has I have a girlfriend! And it’s the ‘monopoly witch’ Kamiya Mirai-senpai, but...but...”

Sakura Mio pursed her lips and said listlessly: "I originally thought I had a slight chance. But my opponent is the 'monopoly witch'. This is too disappointing!"

Well--

Otomo Ai, Sakurai Saki and Takihara Nanako don’t know how to comment.

As Sakura Mio said, after all, the opponent is Kamiya Mirai.

He has maintained the first place in the year since junior high school, and even in Keihoku High School, he has always maintained the first place in his grade... Because Kamiya has monopolized the first place in his grade all year round, he has recently been called the witch of monopoly. ..

There are even rumors that if Kamiya Mirai was given no restrictions on the questions but only time limits, it would not be a problem for her to get several thousand points.

To compare with such an out-of-spec opponent...

To be honest, not only Sakura Mio, but even her best friends who were close to her felt that the other party had no hope at all.

No wonder Sakura Mio always dragged them to eat some time ago.

Now it seems that she also wants to vent her grief and anger by eating, right?

How to fight this? It can't be beaten at all.

Just as they were thinking about how to comfort Sakura Mio, a lively greeting came from the side:

"Good afternoon everyone!"

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads.

It turned out that at some point, a girl with medium-long hair was already standing at the coffee table.

This girl's big black eyes are sparkling now, her face is pink and white, and her eyebrows are thin and long.

The corners of her mouth were raised energetically, showing that she was full of energy.

It was none other than the future senior Kamiya they were discussing just now!

"Kami, Kamiya-senpai?!" Takihara Nanako and the others stood up in a panic, with a hint of guilt flashing in their eyes.

After all, we just discussed this senior sister. Although she didn't say anything bad about her, it's natural that she feels guilty.

"Oh, you don't have to be so reserved with me." Mirai Kamiya laughed, and then waved to the other side: "Tera-kun, this way. They are over here."

Temple-kun...?

Everyone looked in the direction where Kamiya was waving in the future.

I saw a young man carrying a simple shoulder bag walking slowly over.

As soon as they saw each other, the four people's moods, which had just been calmed down by Kamiya Mirai, began to fluctuate again.

"Brother Si, good afternoon!"

"...Good afternoon." Kitagawaji simply greeted them.

After he finished saying this, he looked at Otomo Ai: "Otomo, what you said on the phone and LINE number... let's talk about it in detail."

As expected of Beichuan Temple, even before they sat down, they were already discussing this kind of thing.

"Tera-kun——" Mirai Kamiya naturally pulled Kitagawaji over: "Let's sit down first, and then we'll talk about these things!"

Seeing Kamiya Mirai's natural and intimate actions, the little girls next to him also secretly stuck out their tongues.

If Kitagawa Eri acted so frivolously, Kitagawaji would definitely beat her without hesitation.

But Kamiya Mirai...?

They didn't see any unnecessary expression on Kitagawaji's face, they were just pulled to sit down by Kamiya Mirai.

"What do you want to drink?" Beichuanji asked with an expressionless side face as he sat down.

"Uh...strawberry ice cream!"

Mirai Kamiya put his index finger to his lips, thought for a moment and then said.

"Eating cold drinks all the time will hurt your stomach."

Kitagawaji replied calmly.

"Well...but I really want to eat it." Mirai Kamiya hesitated for a while and said.

Seeing her like this, Beichuan Temple also stretched out his hand to ring the bell, and at the same time did not forget to add: "We can't do this next time."

"Tera-kun is the best."

Kamiya Mirai heyed twice.

This sight of naturally selling dog food made Otomo Ai and the others next to them look at each other in amazement.

Some want to say something.

But...if they really wanted to say anything, they didn't dare to say it directly.

"Uh..." Otomo Ai shook his head, throwing all these messy thoughts out of his mind, and then said: "In fact, I have already told Brother Tera on LINE and on the phone that Inuzuka's sister hopes to be with him. We talked about her side of things in detail in real life, but it seemed that we couldn’t explain it clearly just on the phone..."

"It's not clear on the phone. Maybe the situation is a bit complicated. But it doesn't matter. We were originally scheduled to go to Yamanashi Prefecture."

Beichuanji stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, but did not dwell too much on this issue:

"Except for this problem, how is the progress of the matter that you asked Dayou to investigate?"

On the phone, he not only asked Otomo to get in touch with Inuzuka's sister, but also gave clues to the Disaster Box.

"Well... as Brother Si said, I asked other people about the Box of Disaster... but they actually didn't know the specific situation. They only knew that there was a 'Box of Disaster' around them. The legend of this cursed prop is spreading.”

Dayouai's voice paused and then said:

"In fact, there are not many people who believe in this legend. Everyone just spreads rumors and spreads rumors around like it's fun."

"I see."

Kitagawaji pondered.

It's no wonder, after all, the consequences of using the Box of Disaster are very serious. It's pretty good as a daily conversation starter, but if people really want to use it... there shouldn't be that many bullshit.

Everyone is just a high school student, and there are rarely irresolvable conflicts between high school students.

At least no one wants to experiment with one life for another.

Seeing that Otomo Ai had finished saying everything he wanted to say, Kitagawaji also turned his head and looked at Kamiya Mirai next to him:

"In the future, please tell me again what you just told me."

"Ah...ok."

Mirai Kamiya wiped his mouth first, swallowed the ice cream, and then took out his light pink notebook from the small leather bag on the other side.

There are still records of the original investigation of the Miki Doll Factory and the Apartment in the Mirror. It seems that it should be Kamiya Mirai's own investigation notes.

"Actually, I also found a lot of interesting things in some school forums in Yamanashi Prefecture yesterday."

Kamiya Mirai started like this, and then told all his findings word for word.

Probably actually telling Otomo Ai and them that there is a place called "Ignorant Mountain" over there in Yamanashi Prefecture. There seems to be a desolate hut on that mountain, and the Box of Disaster is hidden in that hut.

In addition to this, she also briefly explained the specific origin legend of the Box of Disaster.

"The little black box made up of people's evil thoughts...that is the box of disaster."

Otomo Ai muttered Kamiya Mirai's last sentence.

"But in fact...I found more than that."

Mirai Kamiya smiled and shook his finger: "After I investigated the rumors on the Internet, I went into my parents' study to look up the specific folklore from Yamanashi Prefecture."

"Parents' study...?"

The four little girls all showed expressions of confusion.

"My future parents are engaged in folklore research. Her family has a lot of folklore-related materials. The folklore of various prefectures in Japan is generally recorded."

Beichuan Temple explained from the side.

"Yeah. So Ai's request this time can be considered a professional counterpart."

Mirai Kamiya nodded vigorously.

She won't lose to anyone in folklore.

You must know that Kamiya Mirai has been in his parents' study since he was a child, and has been exposed to all kinds of weird folk customs.

"But I'll put this kind of chore aside for now." Mirai Kamiya waved his hand and continued with a cheerful expression: "I found some interesting records in my parents' collection."

She took out the black stylus pen, pointed at a place in the notebook, and read out word by word:

"There is such a legend circulating in Yamanashi Prefecture in modern times."

"There is a god who prays for blessings to bring happiness to the people. It accepts people's offerings and brings happiness to people. Those who are blessed by the other party will all gain happiness..."

This paragraph of text is simple, and it seems that Kamiya has already classified and summarized it in the future.

"A god for blessings?"

Sakura Mio was stunned and said uncertainly: "But wasn't Otomo's friend killed by the Box of Disaster?...What's the connection between this and this?"

Hearing Sakura Mio's question, Kamiya Mirai happily closed his notebook and answered frankly: "In fact, there is no connection between this legend and the legend of the Box of Disaster, at least for now. ...They are unrelated legends."

But--

Mirai Kamiya raised his finger:

"Although it is an unrelated legend, blessing and disaster are relative in themselves, and there may be some connection between them. Excerpting this legend is just to add a direction for consideration. Even if the final investigation result is really related to This legend has nothing to do with it... That’s okay, anyway, you can’t go wrong by spending more time on the investigation.”

Kamiya Mirai’s words indeed make sense.

Nowadays, even the identity of the Box of Disaster is not clear, so there is no problem in having another direction of thinking.

Rather...

Mirai Kamiya who can keenly detect these from the mountains of folklore materials is the real...

"sharp."

The girls looked at Mirai Kamiya who was chatting and laughing with Kitagawaji, and seemed to understand why that brother chose her as his girlfriend.
